Posting on adoption forum

[Pix70]

Hi,
I need some advice but how do I know that I'm only posting on the adoption forum and not for all to see

I'm glad something positive came out of it

Did they address their breach of confidentiality ?

Thank you. Yeah, they said sorry but ruined it by adding 'the school has 1300 pupils. The media manager can't possibly know ALL the pupils that cant be shown on our FB page......WHAT??? Thats not good enough considering its their job. We're going to take this further.

That’s way too big for a primary school - they could have just as easily said “we have 1300 pupils, the SENCO can’t possibly know which pupil needs what support”.

1300 pupils? Did you mean that or did you mean 130?

1300 is larger than my DDs secondary school (8 form entry x 5 years)!!

Hello OP. Glad you’ve made progress, this sounds hideous. You can try your post adoption support team too - maybe they can help you with school. (School took me a whole lot more seriously once I involved SS.)

It doesn't matter if there's 2 students or 20,000 it's a legal requirement to ensure every one of their safety and privacy in accordance with the GDPR laws. If that was their response I'd seriously be reporting to Ofsted at the very least

@Pix70 Hi, just checking in. I hope that you and your family are ok. 💐

Morning! We are doing not too bad. I've gone from being extremely upset to extremely angry. Ad is quiet and keeps asking if we can move house so that the SW won't find us and take her away . Obviously we are reassuring her that this will never happen, we are a forever family, we will love her no matter what, we are here to keep her safe and sound etc but it's devastating how unsafe she now feels because of this woman. Years of building a safrty net around her ripped apart ggrough one womans rant.
Whats also sad is how much we have to change because of THAT WOMAN when we have done nothing wrong. We are dropping ad off to school later than normal and picking her up when we know that woman won't be there. Ad had a birthday party to go to this morning but we've had to say that it would be better not to go because THAT WOMAN will likely be there and it's better not to bump into her. Usually ad would have really argued about this but accepted it and agreed with absolutely no argument or upsetness at all - just shows how scared she is by her. Made sure ad understood that she did nohhing wrong but it was better to not have to see her if we don't need to.
We are writing down all our complaints so that we don't miss anything before contacting virtual head etc We had already contacted them about the fb post but going to go back to them again.
Going to see about an OT appointment about her sensory difficulties. Making a list of everything we want to do/achieve. SO glad it's half term so that we all get a break from school.

Just reading your last post makes me actually want to punch this woman! (I actually want to do a lot worse than that.) What an awful thing to say to any parent, and it's no excuse she doesn't know your daughter is adopted. If someone said this to my brother with birth children I'd be furious. Just don't say things like that to any person ever! I'm so sorry your daughter is so upset by it. But it seems like a normal response for a child.

I don't have any advice but just wanted to add my support and hugs!

I'd move her before they upset her further and don't protect her privacy.
Being a very big school is no excuse. They have to have very robust systems in place and support. We have a few LAC children at our school. Most people are aware as the information has been shared by the parents over time.. and other parents do make allowances and don't comment.
